    Spain did successfully negotiate with ETA, and there is no more ETA today. Colombia’s government negotiated with the FARC, and the immense majority of the FARC have gotten peacefully integrated in their country’s parliamentary system.

      If I looked into those organizations, I would bet they were probably at the point of talking reasonable concessions, and probably resembled a proper government, albeit radical or militant.

      Hamas is not at that point.

        Hamas is not at that point.

        So, how many bombs still need to be dropped on Palestine to get them there?

          That would require Hamas to care about Palestinians. Their leadership is a bunch of wealthy shitheads living it up in the UAE. They hold a dictatorship over Palestine and refuse to have elections.

          To actually get Hamas there, you probably need to target the rich people giving orders.
